D'Addario Electric Guitar Heavy, .012 - .054, (can be tuned down to D), EXL1455Chris ChartersFebruary 23, 2010I use them on my telecaster. It has jumbo frets and with smaller strings, fretting causes the pitch to go sharp. Don't have to worry about that with 12's. They are fuller sounding as well...great string!
